The agent for Ron Artest, Mark Stevens, commented on the rumors surrounding the possibility of the Orlando Magic acquiring Artest by trading Hedo Turkoglu to the Sacramento Kings.

"You hear trade rumors all the time, so you just have to let them play out," Stevens said. "It would be good for Ron to get back to the East, not just Orlando in particular. Coming back East would be something that Ron would really like."

The New York Knicks are also interested in acquiring Artest according to recent reports.
